If you are putting together a big three than you need to pull that trigger ASAP to try and land title chasers. If it's JB for Giannis I wouldn't.
Do you think White, other players and picks for Giannis is a possibility?
This is really the way to go...White, Hauser, Hugo/Baylor and picks. Not sure the Bucks go for that.
Not when they can see Brown in the background
Also, that wouldn't do it...we would need to come up with another $10-$14m.That's why in the other thread Phantom was asking if we could sign and trade Vuc to make up the salary shortfall, which would hardcap Milwaukee at the first apron, which they may or may not be ok with.
And to be honest, that would kill our flexibility, with 3 guys taking up $173m of the cap. Shades of the Sixers and they don't even have Maxey on a supermax...or Phoenix with Book, KD and Beal last season, where each was getting paid $50m for a total of $150m, with a $140m cap and a $178m first apron and $188m second apron.
If we did that we would have $36m for the entire rest of the roster before we hit the first apron and $49m before we hit the 2nd apron. And we would have $28m in committed salary for the non-Big Three excluding White, Hauser, Baylor and picks. So we would have $8m to spend on 3 players to avoid first apron penalties, or $19m to avoid second apron penalties.
Unfortunately the CBA is designed to prevent building the Big Three type of roster, by making it impossible to fill the rest of it out. And if it doesn't work out for whatever reason (injury, lack of chemistry, whatever it is), your only tradable contract to make tweaks, without blowing your Big Three up, is Pritchard at $7m and aggregating your vet mins.
I think it would be a hard sell to Brad to handcuff himself financially in that manner. He's the one who's going to be held accountable if it doesn't work, not us
